Midnight Poison (for women)

Designer: Dior Olfactive Group: Oriental Woody

More than twenty years since creation of legendary Poison, Dior is launching the fifth of the Poison range, Midnight Poison. John Galliano's inspiration for visual image of this perfume is the fairytale of Cinderella, brought to life by the French actress Eva Green. The mystery starts when the clock beats midnight, and she is disappearing in the haze. The colors of the flacon are cobalt and ultramarine blue, and it is designed to be reminiscent of Cinderella's dress.

The new Dior's poison is opening with citrus notes of mandarin and bergamot to the rose heart, and patchouli, amber and French vanilla in the base. The creators of Midnight Poison are Jacques Cavallier and Olivier Cresp of Firmenich in collaboration with Francois Demachy of LVMH.

Midnight Poison is a new fragrance and it was introduced in 2007.

I like it ! It is very elegant, dark, really interesting. It is a bit masculine for me, but really well done.

i am in love with this fragrance
it has such an amazing character
it's sweet sensual and dark but at the same time
it is not draining it has sparks the keep it light and interesting, kind of light a night sky at first all you see is dark and mysterious, but then you can see sparks of light coming from the stars and soon enough the whole night sky seems to be bright and lighting up all around you!
It is so feminine even if it is deep and slightly spicy.
So gorgeous and i can't get enough of it!

I really like this scent. It's very sexy and it instantly reminds me of Agent Provocateur (the original perfume). I don't think this is a sweet scent at all. This scent is very dark,lingering and seductive. I can hardly smell the rose at all allthough I seem to mostly woods and spice.
06/28/09 07:42:24
Makes me feel matured. Finally got my hands on it during my summer vacation. I loved the way the bergamot, rose and amber blended, gave me quite a kick =)
06/26/09 05:22:00
For me Elle Ysl and Midnight poison are veeery similar.I prefer Elle becaus eit is a lil bit sweeter.Bu tthats just my opinion.Midnight is just great though
06/26/09 04:46:58
Such a great smell,i didn`t know how good this was until i sprayed it on me.Its dark,sexy and you feel great wearing it.Its not like the other poison smells because it feel kinda more fruity and fresher.And it gets just better and better,this one is high on my wishlist!

Intriguing, Alluring, Mysterious, Sexy, Intoxicating........Provocative. Mandarin Orange, Bergamot, Patchouli, Bourbon Vanilla, Rose Absolute, Ambrox, Amber........A rainbow of invigorating ingredients. This is woodsy oriental heaven! It’s extremely sexy, producing that WOW factor. It’s breathtaking and undulating, absolutely celestial under the nose. From the top notes to the middle notes and right down to the base notes......This is one delicious bottle of juice. It's a bit on the pricey side, but you won't be disappointed with your purchase. You don't even have to spray much, cause a little goes a very long way. It lingers continuously on your skin and stays on your clothes for days. Do splurge on this one. It's worth every penny and your man will love it. I can’t keep mine off of me when I wear it. Trust me! If you wear this, you will attract all kinds of attention. This one doesn't disappoint. Ideal for romantic and intimate evenings and should only be worn during the fall and winter.

I love all the other Poisons, especially the original, hypnotic (masterpiece) and pure... but: this Midnight Poison is the WORST fragrance by far from the house of Dior. Smells just like "Relax" by Davidoff. So if you want to smell like a gay man in the 80's go for it. Horrible, horrible, horrible. HO-RRI-BLE.

Fresh? How can any Poison be fresh? LOL!!About this MP, I love it! Warning not for the faint of heart- this is no bubble gum girlie scent, this is for the victorian corset loving temptress or any women who's chemistry fit this scent. That would be me, my skin love this MP. I hate vanilla with a passion however somehow my skin and nose doesn't get any Sweetness of vanilla. Very good for me.
05/07/09 21:12:12
Bergamot, rose and musk. Soft and seductive at the same time. While wearing it, I can close my eyes and see a beautiful woman skulking through a field adorning a midnight blue gown, as her love awaits to feel her embrace with the over hanging moon guiding her way with soft silvery beams.
04/28/09 19:34:25
i think this one is enigmatic. very smooth and dark with sharp and bright edges. it even seems both classic and modern at the same time to me.
04/13/09 12:08:49
I like others fell for pure poison first, this is also a perfume you MUST spray on your skin! Be brave and just do it!
The lovely poison first opens with dark citrus I sense the patchouli almost from the very begining. At first it is a little startling, but it settles down into the most intense rose, almost like a rose with extra thorns, dark mysterious but so pretty you have to smell it! The patchouli and rose mix and settle on the skin in such a glorious way.

This is definitely an evening scent, so alluring and sexy...I love it and I am so surprised! Definitely a must have in a woman's perfume wardrobe. Dark and sensuous! YUM!
04/07/09 17:49:06
i find it alluring, full of mystery...really seductive. my partner absolutely loves it & says it smells like a dark cloudless night, veiled in mystery
03/31/09 05:34:08
This is my second favorite scent of the "Poison" range (following "Pure Poison"). "Midnight Poison" breaks with the very 1980's heaviness of the original "Poison", injecting a much drier, almost masculine note to the drydown without loosing the seductiveness of the original.I enjoy this Poison more than the "Hypnotic" version because the vanilla doesn't overwhelm the rest of the composition, but rather warms the basenotes by taking the edge off of them. A good special occasion frag with enough personality to stand out from the crowd.
03/29/09 19:43:10
 
I'm not a fan of poison and this one doesn't match my chemistry just like the others.
it's very warm and strong at the first sniff and the rose is very original here.not a mild rose,but a very dominant sweet and powdery rose.it gives me the idea of a cruel mistress who's looking for a victim to kill.she must be brutal and sensual,but not kind nor romantic.
so they've chosen the right name.it's the midnight poison.the poison the lovers will drink and fall while the brutal lady was making them believe she loves them!
03/26/09 11:10:33
Very mysterious, sexy, sensual and yet playful fragrance Suitable for a night out party :D I love this the most, among all Dior. Strong and long lasting.
02/23/09 18:24:29
it´s magic, mysterious. It makes me dream and wishing to be like Eva green on the add.

It's not a everyday perfume. I actually inly use it in special days.
01/31/09 11:23:47
I disagree with adves87 about Midnight Dior...I think it's quite fresh compared to the other Poisons - it's younger, fresher, not "old lady"like...it has a lot of patchouli and maybe it is what some people dislike.. but it is not intense or strong!!! It isn't really, or at least, not once the top notes fade. As for the name Midnight Poison it is a bit dark but it is not at all rich or heavy. I wear it happily and find it very sexy, intriguing scent for the evening or going out...
01/27/09 15:21:41
The first impression is not great to be honest, I can always smell this chemical note, kind of medical. But if you give it time to develop, it becomes splendid, deep, intriguing.
I love the commercial for it, it really manages to show the true spirit of this fragrance.
01/21/09 01:24:45
Men love this one. I first smelled this because my brother sprayed the tester onto a ribbon in a department store and brought the ribbon to me (I was in a different section of the store)saying that it smelled so nice. I didn't pay too much attention at that time, but later I developed a fondness for this perfume. It is strong and was the first of its kind when it came out (Now Gucci has imitations of this).
My dad also likes this one. He said a lot of the perfumes make him feel dizzy, but this one doesn't make him feel unwell at all.
01/19/09 22:04:06
This lovely and sexy! Not a fan of Poison this one is a nice surprise.The freshness of the citrus note blend well with the sweetness of vanilla and amber.
Deceptively simple it catches you off guard and before you know it you are traped. Great for romantic and evening wear!
01/19/09 03:24:02
Review below viewing threshold.
 
It would be much better if it could get rid of this sour smell that doesn't match with the rest of the notes at all. Other than that, it's not bad at all..
12/27/08 11:29:31
At the beginning, this smell a lot of pachouli for my nose, not too citrus (nice!)... not too "midnight"... not very pleasant at all for me.
But... the dry down... yesss :) Its sensual and attractive, the amber in this its very pleasant, delightful!.
For my taste, its not like a dark midnight... its more close to a starry evening wearing a beautiful veil :)
12/21/08 16:44:04
Everytime I put this one I get suprised of how nice a creation this is. You have to like patsjuli to like this one. The amber is lovely, almost juicy. The fragrance is heavy, but at the same time very fresh. It lasts a long-long-long time and it gets better by the hour. It is one of my favorites, but unfortunatly this one gives me headace once in a while (I am very sensitive).
12/11/08 14:51:57
It smells great, very enchanting, lovely and dark. I had the original poison but prefer this one. MIdnight Poison is different than the original more dark, seductive and modern. Just like the original this one doesn't lack in staying power.
11/19/08 19:24:46
Tell you the truth,I always hate original poison,it's a sillage monster and too much of everything.And it make me afraid of all poison line...until now.I read a lot of good reviews about Midnight Poison,which make me curious and want to try it.Wow! it's totally different.Midnight is powerful but elegance at the same time.For me it have a sharp "cool"scent in the opening and follow by sexy musky with a bit powdery in the end.This might be my first Poison that I could buy it!
11/13/08 06:03:06
wonderfull scent,i fell in love with it from the first time i ve tried it last year.of course i bought it,i couldn t help it.i love to wear it.also a very strong scent.the dry down is much better than the begining and stays on skin very long.
11/09/08 06:19:12
What a bliss.
I thought i will never find anything more exciting than Gucci by Gucci, that would surround me with a smooth, smokey and creamy veil but this fragrance actually does it well.
Fruity and zesty in first notes, magically turns into an explosive and seductive mixture of patchouli and amber smoothed by soothing vanilla.
I guess Cinderella story promoting that scent was a perfect match.This fragrance turns into a fairytale like experience after few hours of wearing it.Love it!
11/07/08 05:42:46
After the first sharp, strong notes fade away all that remains is worthy of the name a midnight sonata of scents!!!

Like a queen of the night that blossoms only at the strike of midnight the scent is a bit spicy-minty to me, definetely smell the patcouli but somehow a bit smoky!!


In a word intoxicating!
11/07/08 00:32:44
 
i got this perfume this summer it reminds me somehow of dolce vita..has something in the base notes, but i passed to my mom out of respect it is so nice so wonderful and i believed it will be an ultimate gift for her:)
11/03/08 17:00:33
 
Can anybody tell me, if there´s really so much Patchouli in this? I mean, how strong does the Patchouli come out? I love Patchouli, and if MP has a lot of it, this might be my next buy.
10/27/08 04:55:38
 
Today, I've smelled it for the first time.....only plums, sweet dark plums...very strange, and now I found out that there is no plum in the fragrance notes...
10/25/08 10:33:28
When I smelt it for the first time I said: "Oh my God! This is a great fragrance"...
It's intense, alluring, intoxicating, long lasting, luxurious, oriental and spicy in the same time, for evening use...
I like the mix between bergamot, rose, orange and patchouli...
This is A MUST perfume...
10/25/08 07:51:50
i use it for the fal/winter time, i think it suits quite good for bad weather, its warm and elegant and strong but doesent shout out and even if it overpowers other wont cause headacke
10/23/08 00:14:17
Finally, a worthy successor to the original Poison. Very dry patchouli, rose, and woods, the drydown is tres sexy. It's an elegant perfume best reserved for evenings. Go easy, though - this one could easily overpower everything around you!
10/22/08 18:11:54
This is wonderfull, very longlasting intoxicating winter scent with a sexy drydown
10/14/08 01:02:12
Very mistique and dark, but nice fragrance. Fresh at first and sweet erotic fragrance at last.
10/03/08 13:53:40
This is great perfume, when I tried him it was love on first sight. I like the fact that on my skin he is so dark and deep, not sweet and not masculine at all. Something in this perfume attract me so much. I have only 2 objection for him, he is not so lasting on me and he is skin perfume, he doesn't have aura. But in spite of this, this perfume is one of my favorite. To simplify, this perfume is me.
09/23/08 06:07:09
First time i sprayed it on the testing paper it smelled like plasticine, but when i tried it on myself it smelled quite good, but i wouldnt have bought it, it was a gift for my mother but she didnt like it, on her it smelled like on the paper, but on me it was better, so now its mine;) and i like it though it cant be worn often because its not a very simple scent, not for everyday use

I bought this and I like it though its not my favourite. The initial smell to me is the burnt orange. But the dry down is lovely, I spray it on my bed to make my room smell gorgeous, you can smell it for days! What a waste, Dior on my Sheets!!!!!!!!!
08/07/08 23:45:57
 
Nothing special nor outstanding on this one but for my point of view, still tons better than the earlier version of the so called "Pure Poison", which to me is a real disaster made worst with a misfit name.

Lasting power is not there for me....

Love it! In my opinion it's the best poison fragrance. It's very strong, so apply it with a light hand. It's a perfect evening fragrance or a winter fragrance.
06/27/08 19:03:18
I bought this one from Sephora without even smelling it because it wasn't out in Canada yet. I just had to have it! It is a bit heavy at first. It's very spicy and has that spruce-beer-like quality that I like about Hypnotic Poison (just my nasal interpretation). It's a long-lasting scent with a very sexy, sophisticated dry down. A little goes a long way. I wouldn't wear this in the summer because it could be too heavy and leave you feeling a bit overwhelmed.
06/25/08 10:08:11
At first spray, it's not particularly attractive. However, if you give it a few minutes, it starts to soften and it loses its medicinal smell. It becomes quite attractive and sexy. Don't use too much because it's quite strong. If you want to make an impression, this is the perfume for you. It's on my "to buy" list.
05/10/08 10:11:10
Agreed, KeLLStar. I kept the card I sprayed it on, and by the next day, it smelled more floral, much less offensive, and I could no longer smell the strong patchouli and Ben-Gay. Thanks for listing the notes that assaulted me. It's good to know.
03/29/08 09:05:18
This first spray which I'm guessing is the patchouli/bergamot/orange smells rather like a sweet "Vicks Vapor Rub" - which might scare some people away. If you brave the "Vicks" out, it steps back, rewarding you with a beautiful soft floral, rose/vanilla scent.

This is not an everyday perfume for me but when I'm in the right mood - I absolutely love it! It's gorgeous for Winter or cooler days.

Definitely recommended!
03/29/08 05:43:38
 
I wanted to like this perfume, because the video on YouTube is so intriguing. But when I sprayed it on a card, it smelled like Ben-Gay. The lady at the counter warned me, "It smells better on skin than on the card, more musky." I think that was supposed to sell me, but it didn't. I want a scent to smell just as good on me as on my stationery! But I sprayed it on me anyway. Woo-ee! 'Didn't like it. 'Don't know what notes are in it. 'Just didn't like it. And then when I tried to wash it off. . . I was able to remove the Ben-Gay smell, but was left with nothing but patchouli which wouldn't come off with soap and water! (I hate patchouli!)
03/28/08 16:34:36
I can't feel any roses, the spices, amber and woods are too strong. But to some women it fits quite well.
03/26/08 12:12:34
The latest addition to the 'Poison' arsenal I tried out of curiosity is a surpise! Don't be taken in by this seemingly innocent 'infusion of rose, patchouli and amber' statement written in the advert and on the tester bottle. It is actually a quite complex, full-blown composition, which gives out its notes over time changing gradually from one to another, back and forth, while still retaining the same sweet - spicy -woody character. If you're interesed which notes I am talking about, here's what I can detect: fleety bergamot, oozing rose, patcholi and amber, at the base sweet and soft amber. So what you get is a velvety, slightly powdery spice bomb.. luxurious indeed!
It is a strong essence (eau de parfum) but much much lighter than any other 'Poison'. I mean lighter as in 'heaviness' not as in 'density'. In fact it doesn't resemble any 'Poison'. This perfume has its own character and would deserve its own name. The product is very-well marketed and would appeal to a wide audience. The price can be off-putting though as it is going at £29.99 per 30 ml eau de parfum in the high street.
12/13/07 06:42:12
Its dark and seductive, with masculine hint and spicy heart with specific notes of rose. Its perfect for midnight!
10/22/07 03:10:27
 
So... it is realy intensive and dark, but I dislike some gourmand note in the middle, rose is almost fruity sweet.
10/20/07 15:07:22
Yes, it is good! i've tried to recognize the note of previous Poisons in it, but it suddenly became so dark and intriguing, with woodsy and spicy heart, and dark rose in it. It contains masculine note to highlight its femininity.
10/13/07 12:30:22
it's the sexiest fragrance i ve tried since a long time! looking forward to buy it!
